Colour composing

• • Peter crafts paper and card artworks
• • He relishes technical problem solving
• • He feels lucky to be able to work at his passion

Peter Monaghan creates multi-coloured installations and artworks from paper, card, wood and other materials. He paints the paper or card first, before cutting it and assembling his composition into a structuring base. He is passionate about the craftsmanship, finish and technical precision of each piece. The clean bold lines within his images and installations hint at his background in graphic design which he credits as the part of his creative development that instilled in him a good head for business. Peter is not shy of a challenge, in fact he sees overcoming technical obstacles as inherent to the thrill of his work. His pieces have been widely commissioned for public and private buildings in Ireland and abroad. Recently, he has collaborated with Ferreira de Sá to transform his art into luxury rugs.
